    Ha that's a riot! People should start placing trash bins in the middle of the sidewalk to encourage 'heads up' pedestrians.

    I used to be pretty good at this with my old Timport. I'm still pretty good using iTap but I don't do it as much. I'll usually stop and move out of the way somewhere.

    Now, if I could only stop texting and driving.:rolleyes:

    Actually I read somewhere that the padded posts on the streets of London were a publicity stunt to draw attention to this issue and not actually a permanent addition to London street posts. If I can find the article, I'll post it.

    Haha, I can relate. I've given up texting while driving, but I've been known to run into things while walking and navigating my T9 at the same time... :D
